Vienna Philharmonic
Wednesday 4 January 2006 19:30-21:30 (Radio 3)
Continuing the special series of highlights from the summer Proms. Zubin Mehta made a rare London appearance to conduct the first of the Vienna Philharmonic's two Proms - with Haydn's rousing Drumroll symphony, the dramatic suite Berg compiled from his first opera (ending the season of centenary celebrations of the composer) and one of the seminal works of the 20th Century, Stravinsky's hedonistic ballet score.
Presented by Andrew McGregor, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall.
